Each one of us go through seasons in life where we need to get back up & start over again. A great preacher once said, “You cannot control what other people do to you or the hurtful circumstances that will come your way, BUT, you always have a choice how to respond to it.” Yes, you may be in a tough situation right now, but God is challenging you today; how much are you willing to sacrifice just to rebuild your life & get the fresh start that you need? Every person who wants to accomplish something has made some sort of sacrifice just to get what they long for. To start a new dimension of change in our lives, we need to – FIRST, become living sacrifices by surrendering our hearts to God. Once the Lord has taken the top spot in all our priorities, we can expect changes to come. Great changes that will benefit not just our loved ones but other people as well. [ "Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love." -Joel 2:13 ]
